I couldn't figure out an easy was to directly control the size of the more_fontz, so I ignored it and fixed it in post. ;)

My workflow was to pick the text and then only worry about the overall proportions in OpenScad to get a good looking die. Then when I went to print the object I used the scale adjustment to get the die to the size I actually wanted. I haven't checked to see if there is a newer version of more_fontz or even an alternative font engine now...

Instructions

Open the file in OpenSCAD and enter your text for each side in the side#text definition quotes. Do a test render and adjust the other parameters for the best look:
diesize = size of the die
rounding = radius of the edge curvature
textdepth = depth of the inset text; below 2 seems problematic
textheight = used to properly align the text on the sides

Since I could not find a way to change the size of the more_fontz output directly, I concentrate on proportions to get the die sized nicely around the text in OpenSCAD and then do the final adjust for size in RepG.
